With my current employment situation a bit up in the air and the fact that I will be going to Marcon at the end of the month, I had to face hard facts and give this one a pass. It was a very hard decision to make since Wil Wheaton will be there and it doesn’t look like he’ll be out this way again anytime soon. I will be able to see you at Confluence, anyway.

There’ll even be lesser mortals at that 9am signing, including both Michigan contributors to the Writers of the Future Volume XXIV anthology — myself and Al Bogdan. And unlike ConFusion, we’ll actually have books there. I know, sounds crazy, doesn’t it?

I am so sorry I’m going to miss this frivolity with the brother unit (Dr. Phil) and Scalzi (we met in Atlanta last Labor day) and Jim Hines (fan o’ the girl power…do we look like we need rescuing??) and Wil and Shawn and all.
